Big Brother 8/7. Boy, Does Kail Get Screwed Tonight!

Previously on BB8, BB’s hopes of a long showmance ended, Danielle played Encyclopedia Brown about mystery votes, Amber and Eric got screwed by a banner, Kail made an agreement to give up HOH in order to get nominated, Dick and Danielle asked Eric’s best friend in the house to turn against him, and Jen and Kail were nominated. Déjà vu anyone? We enter the house where apparently everyone in house has had too many blueberries, because everyone’s turned an odd shade of blue. Kail has been told that she’s 100% safe, which doesn’t exist in the BB house. Jen is glad to be nominated again, and Dick, seeing Jen in a happy mood, immediately starts going into her, telling her she’s going home. Jen plays along and does her best at antagonizing Dick in return. Good on you Jen. The vibe in the house is awkward, and Eric is already scheming on how to stay in the house. Eric, Jess, Dustin, and Cryber are all strategizing outside where the plan is revealed that they’re blaming the votes on Eric and planning to backdoor him. Amber is shocked that Jen still isn’t going home. They general consensus is that Jess has to pretend like she’s with them. Dustin says that the game has officially begun. Eric then tells Jameka of the plan, who is also shocked. Eric seems confident that they won’t have the votes to pull it off, but all I can think is that Eric hasn’t seen Amber raging against Jews and New Yorkers on the feeds. I wouldn’t count on her vote Eric. Jameka and Amber both agree that they don’t have the votes to evict Eric. Now its time for Zach and Danielle to talk in HOH, where Nick says he has no friends. Danielle is so mad that they made her vote Nick out, which she gets across by huffing about Nick’s eviction. Zach basically tells Danielle he’s putty in her hands. He’s just grasping at straws now it seems. Danielle’s willing to use him though. It’s time for yet another conversation about how Danielle and Dick are going down. This time it’s Eric, Jess, and Dustin in the bathroom. Eric ends by saying they’re digging their own grave and they can continue their twisted family reunion six feet under. Any recent doubts that I had about Eric’s inner douchebag coming out recently are both confirmed and assuaged, because it’s not at Jen anymore.

It’s veto player pickin’ time. Eric really wants to play this week. Danielle picks first and gets Zach’s ball. Jen picks Dustin. Kail gets houseguest’s choice and pick’s Jameka. Amber is picked to host, and I’m pondering whether she’ll cry because her hosting duties are soooo hard. It’s time for the competition already and it involves covered things which worry Kail. Jen is worried that there may be haircutting, but she’s not too worried. The covered things are all ominous and the people who bid highest have to do the ominous tasks. The lowest bidder is eliminated. The first one involves wearing a bunny suit. Jen, Kail, Zach, and Danielle all have to wear bunny suits. Dustin is eliminated. Next, everyone has to dump manure on their heads for the next 24 hours every hour. Next, everyone turns down 10 grand. The next think involves how long you’re willing to eat slop. Danielle is freaking out because she doesn’t like slop. Kail and Jen have to eat slop for the next month and Zach is eliminated. Next involves not participating in HOHs, and Kail and Jameka can’t participate in the next 5 HOHs. Danielle is eliminated. The last question involves how much money you’re willing to give up if you win the game. Kail, Jen, and Jameka are the last 3 remaining. Jameka will give up 10 grand. Kail will give up 248, 999 dollars. Jen will give up 250 grand, which she hopes will prove to her fellow houseguests that she’s not in it for the money. Dick proclaims how happy he is about the veto result. I wonder how long it will be before he tears into her again. Can I just say how awesome Jen is? She just got an eviction reprieve for the third week IN A ROW. That’s an accomplishment. Even if I didn’t like her I would have to give her props for that.

Everyone is putting on their bunny outfits and Kail runs down the list of what she did She’s wearing a bunny suit, eating slop for a month, not competing in the next 5 HOHs, getting manure poured on her, and she doesn’t even have the veto. Jameka only now realizes that she’s not participating in the next 5 HOHs, which is hard because it means she doesn’t get the perks like pictures. She’s really breaking down and begins praying to hymnal music in the background. This interlude goes on for way too long, with the occasional interlude of Jen bitching about her bunny costume, clearly included by someone who was trying to make Jen look bad. Danielle comes over to fake console her and Jameka sees right though it and calls her her father’s daughter in confessional. Jen and Danielle are having a bunny strategy talk, and Danielle tells Jen that she can keep Kail in the house if she promises to vote as Danielle wishes. Jen asks, “Is it Eric?” proving how tuned into the house she is. Danielle tells her not to tell Eric, because she still thinks Eric doesn’t know. Dick tries to make peace with Jen which involves him cutting her off when she tries to speak. Dick keeps on talking of co-existing, but when he and Danielle are talking to her, he speaks so angrily that if I were Jen, I’d still watch my back. They rail on Eric to Jen who just sits back and listens. In the Diary Room, Jen admits that while it’d probably be advantageous to do it, but she’s not sure if she morally can. And I love Jen more. It’s time for manure pouring, which Danielle surprisingly says is Icky. Now it’s time for Dick to think he’s so smart to Jess (He isn’t), and Jess then goes to try and woo Danielle. Jen talks about how everyone has been promised by Eric that they’re with them. Jess is tiffed by this. This seems like a perfect segue to his America’s Choice task. But the BB editors can’t edit well, so they segue to the beginning of the conversation that we saw the end of earlier, with Eric promising the family reunion to continue six feet under. Nice editing job BB. Jameka thinks that Dick and Danielle are just trying to spin Jess. Jess is now perplexed as to whom to trust.

Now it’s time for America’s player. Eric is not pleased by this weeks challenge, but he’s relieved that America wants him to promise Jessica. I recognize this conversation from the feeds, because this is also when the whole Amber’s abortions debacle within the house started. If you wanna find out more, you can look online. He convinces Jess, and it’s time for our manured houseguests to douse themselves once again. It’s been a while since Dick yelled at anyone, so it’s time for him to start yelling at Jen. Wait, that’s not Jen! It’s Eric! Dick has another target? Dick refuses to let Eric get a word in edgewise, reiterating that he has an alliance with Jen and Kail. Which is wrong. Dick yells at Eric that he knows the truth (he doesn’t) and how dare he play the game better than Dick (this is not what he says, it’s just the gist of it. Eric tries to talk to Danielle and Dick insists that Danielle can defend herself. This is while he’s not letting her defend himself. Dustin tries to tell Danielle that her dad is ruining her game and should be put up. Danielle huffs about how it’s him not her. Dustin counters that it’s her HOH reign so why should Dick be running it. Danielle doesn’t see how this affects her. I wonder if something that stupid was just uttered?

It’s veto meeting time. Jen is pleased to have the power, telling those who want her gone that they have to get over it. Kail doesn’t even try to argue for the veto to be used on her. Jen does her self monologue again and uses the veto on herself. In a surprise to no one, Eric is put up on the block. She backhandedly accuses Eric of being the mystery votes. Eric claims that it’s gonna blow up in their face. Kail no longer things she’s safe. I think this may be the first time she’s picked up on something happening. Dick thinks this so rad calling his former alliance stupid and retarded, an alliance that he formed and named. The America’s choice question involves Eric flattering someone incessantly to get the vote. I’m voting Jen. It’ll be nice to see someone be friendly to her for once.
